Just my .02, YMMV.

The take-down 10/22 and shotgun are solely for hunting. Its a toss up between my shotgun, my 300 Weatherby (about 10lbs) + Ammo, and my 1957 Marlin 336 30-30 (7 1/2 pounds) + ammo. I am trying to avoid the packs of unknown armed forces. I went with a shotgun because I figured it has a wider use of ammo then the Weatherby and Marlin.
